Camelot and Family
Imagine setting quietly on your deck in the country when suddenly something black and shiny jumps on your lap. At first I thought it was some type of wold animal! Instead it was a gorgeous black cat with emerald green eyes.
My husband and I fed her and loved her. We both work full time, but every spare minute we spent with her. She had a basket and all the food she could eat. She ate continually, but never gained any weight.
I noticed she had several nipples and became concerned that she may be pregnant. I brought her to the vet. He felt she may have one small kitten or possibly one that had died. He asked me to call back in two weeks or if she went into labor.
Everyday, Cami "Camelot" would spend several hours with us, but suddenly and unexpectantly she would quickly wander back into the field. We couldn't imagine what was so important that she left so abruptly. She always came back.
One morning while I was at work my husband called, so very excited. He always fed Cami before leaving for work himself. As he glanced out the window, Cami was coming across over our lawn from the field, followed by three kittens. He was so happy and to this day we talk of it often.
Four weeks later my mom and I flew to California to deliver Phoebe to my sister. My mom took Chinny Winnie and we have Spitty, the only boy, and of course Cami.
